External strobes offer several advantages over using the
camera’s builtin flash External strobes move the flash away
from the camera lens which helps reduce backscatter They also
expand lighting options to achieve the best lighting for
different subjects and lenses A strobe such as the DS is ideal
for use with macro and most standard camera lenses up to
mm When an optional wide angle lens is added a strobe such
as the DS is needed as it has a greater angleofcoverage A
second external strobe can be added to fill the shadows and
produce more realistic photographs
